Description
***Winner of Apple Design Award 2010 for the iPad version! Featured by Apple - Best Apps of 2009, Best Apps of 2010, and in iPad TV commercials!***
WHAT IT DOES:
Star Walk enables you to point your iPhone at the sky and see what stars, constellations, and satellites you are looking at in real-time. Please note, you will need a 3GS/4/4th gen iPod Touch for motion tracking, otherwise this app will be just a beautiful info-packed time-sensitive interactive star atlas that allows you to set your location manually to give you the most accurate picture.
